Dutch colonels flags

As stated earlier, the Dutch battalions had two flags, a colonel's flag (mostly with the coat of arms of the province on whose paylist the regiment was or a coat of arms connected with the House of
Orange (eg for the three the Orange-Nassau regiments).
The Swiss regiments were of course an exception as were the regiments of some German princes.

As some of these flags are in the public domain (site of the Rijsmuseum Amsterdam) some colonels flags are underneath with a remark of the regiments (their number) who had these flags.
I based the regiments paying province on the 1793-1795 budget although Ten Raa in the latest "Het Staatse Leger nr IX) has some different province.

As only one flag of some provinces are known, it is of course possible that more designs of a provincial flag were used but that is unknown.

The colonelsflag of a Nassau-Orange regiment. As there are three of these (regiment nr 1, regiment nr 2 and regiment Erfprins) I think they all had the same colonels flag but had different coloured regimental flags). The flag measured 105*98 cm.

The colonels/provincial flag of Groningen (Stad en Lande). These could be used by the regiments:

- nr 2 (van Maneil) and 

- maybe nr 9 (van Randwijck) as the "Het Staatse leger" mentions Groningen as paying province but the budget another province (Holland) -see underneath.

The flag measured 99*95 cm.

The colonels/provincial flag of Holland. This flag measured 97*97 cm.

These could be used by the regiments:

- nr 3 (Van Dopf), 

- nr 4 (Von Wilcke), 

- nr 5 (Des Vilattes), 

- nr 7 (de Bons), 

- nr 8 (Bosc de la Calmette), 

- nr 9 (Van Randwijck-maybe: see Groningen), 

- nr 12 (Bedaulx), 

- nr 14 (Hessen-Darmstadt; probably the regimental showed the Hessen-Darmstadt coat of arms), 

- nr 15 (De Petit), 

- nr 18 (van Wartensleben), 

- nr 21 (Van Westerloo),

- nr 22 (Van Nijvenheim)

- nr 23 (Stuart)

- nr 24 (Bentinck)

The colonels/provincial flag of Overijssel. This flag measured 98*102 cm.

These could be used by the regiment:

- nr 20 (Van Geusau)

Of this last flag it is known that the backside didn't had the coat of arms of Overijssel but the State coat of arms which is:
